Summary

The purpose of the present RCT is to evaluate a 12-month SMS intervention with expanded content, intervention strategies and interactive database logic, novel online enrollment, and automatic baseline scoring of measures to support a 12 month weight loss SMS intervention. The investigators hypothesized that the intervention group would have greater weight loss at 6 and 12 months than the control group and increased adherence to SMS would be associated with greater weight loss at 6 and 12 months.
